Предисловие
Этот учебник предназначен для учащихся средней школы уровня B1–B2, которые хотят улучшить свои навыки английского языка. Главная цель книги — расширить словарный запас, освоить устойчивые выражения, фразовые глаголы, коллокации, а также научиться использовать их в повседневной школьной и личной жизни.
Каждая глава посвящена определённой теме, которая актуальна для подростков: учеба, семья, друзья, хобби, путешествия и другие повседневные ситуации. Структура глав включает объяснение лексики на русском языке, историю на английском с использованием ключевых слов, список полезных слов и выражений, а также упражнения с развёрнутыми ответами. Такой подход помогает учащимся не только запоминать лексику, но и применять её на практике в школе и в повседневном общении.
Я создала этот учебник с учётом потребностей школьников, которые изучают английский язык системно и хотят развивать навыки чтения, письма, аудирования и говорения. Все материалы адаптированы под уровень продолжающих, примеры и ситуации соответствуют школьной и повседневной жизни.
Моя цель — дать школьникам инструмент для уверенного использования английского языка и помочь развивать навыки общения в школе и за её пределами.
